Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill



 

The purpose of  this project was to provide maps for Waterkeepers to help direct resources to the most sensitive habitats.  I chose Perdigo Bay as my study area simply because of the unique geography.  This was a long and difficult project. In spite of all the frustrations, it was a very worthwhile project.  The first stumbling block was reprojecting the quad map used for the background into a useable coordinate system.  Another hurdle was decyphering data that I have never seen before.  I improved my skills at every task involved in this project because of repititon.  Several students posted some great tips, links and other resources that helped me along the way.
